Total Requirements
We need to mill 40 Cup O' Dice

Ingredients: 290 x Gamer's Glory + 20 Shakers
Time:5 minutes
so we need 200 minutes of milling
and
Gamer's glory: 11.600​

Shakers: 800

Now anyone who has understood how to play the game with the dice please let us know. I hope my numbers are correct, tell me if they are not, I can always edit my post.

 

Thanks Arielh, makes it easier for idiots like me to understand. Lets hope we get a benevolant drop rat to assist us

 

The rules of the mini game are like Yahtzee. You can probably find a free playable version online to try. It's easier to play than explain, like a lot of these FAQs

 

Another event. whee. But the cloud row is a good one, so I'm in.

My husband and I play a dice game - similar but a bit different from Yahtzee...haven't played in a while. In essence, Yahtzee is poker played with dice. But, the 'short straight' thing comes from the other game - the one we play. DH calls it "10,000"... anyway...from what's in the FAQ there are no losing rolls...just good, better, best.

I don't think I can post a link to an external site. But, I just did a web search and a site called "wikihow" came up. Both 10,000 and Yahtzee are explained on that website, so if anyone needs to know how they work, there ya go.

 

Anybody who can explain the Combination Point Rewards? Are they rewarded during the 40 games or do we have to play more than 40 games to get them?

 

Nicorette, I think they are rewarded during the 40 games but you may (well) have to continue playing after the 40 games to get all the prizes you want.
I want all the prizes! It's a great list.

 

I want them too

 

Well done Arielh and Thank you for making the thread

a total of 25000 points are needed for the 74 steps WOW

Have put refined Carnations in and roses and have some stables out... to see how many shakers i will get from these....Hopefully more then the vouchers

 

Yeah, I figure carnations on this farm and rosehips, er, foxtail millet on the other one... Will spend the day pulling up trees and animal pens as they are harvested...here we go again!

 

Let's say we make 100 Cup O Dice, which means 29000 crops and 2000 dropitems
We will finish the whole event if we obtain a Full House on the first round (100+150) in all those games .
Quite likely right?

You must get that CR at least! It will save you lots of PF


Found a video made by the NL Team

 

Thanks, Shimmer. I tried it and found the game quite interesting and won few times too. Our game is easier than that.

How to play:
1. You have to 3 chances to roll the 5 dices.
2. There are 6 combinations of dices and each combination gives you specific points.
3. You can choose which combination you want depending upon the numbers you get on your dices.
4. 6 combinations are

3 of a kind means - out of 5 dices 3 dices must contain the same number.
4 of a kind means - out of 5 dices 4 dices must contain the same number.
Full house means - 3 dices must have same numbers & 2 dices must have same numbers (eg., two dices have 6s & three dices have 1s)
Flush means - all 5 dices must contain the same number
short straight means - 4 dices must have sequential number - that is 1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4, 5 or 3,4,5,6
Long Straight means - all five dices must be in sequences, that is, 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6
​

5. When we throw the dice sometimes, we get 2 or more combination. In that case, we have to decide which combination gives us more points. The points for combinations are given in the FAQ
5. we will play now -
1st throw : let's say we get 1, 4, 4, 6, 5. Out of the 5 dices we can choose to freeze any number of dices. If you click on them, they come to your slot. What I do now is, I choose to keep the two 4s. So now I roll the other 3 dices as my 2nd turn. Now let me say I get 4,2,3. I can now freeze the dice with number 4 and as I click it it comes to my slot. So now I have three 4s (it is a three of a kind). Now in my 3rd throw, I throw the remaining 2 dices, if I get another 4, I get 'four of a kind' combination & get points for that. If I don't I get points for 3 of a kind combination. If I get both the dices as 4s, then I get points for flush combination.

That is, depending upon the dice numbers you can try out which combination you wish by freezing the dices. As you throw, the possible combinations will be highlighted and you can choose the best point combination. You can also de-freeze the dice by clicking it. It will be available for next throw, that is if you have a try left.

Tip: There are no loosing combinations. All dice will reward points after each Game.
2. If you play 40 games, you get cloud row with its item. It doesn't matter what point you get.
3. If it is the first time you make that combination, you receive an extra score. The next time you make that same combination you get the normal score but not the extra score
4. 2 types of reward

Main Game Rewards



Combination Point Rewards

Spoiler: For steps 1 to 37

Spoiler: For steps 38 to 74

I tried to explain my best. Hope it is understandable. I think as you play you will understand better and will find it quite interesting like Ingrid's axe throwing or singing.

 

Thank you 12ss12 for the helpful explanation Do you know if we can unfreeze a dice if we spot a better combination

 

That's what I am searching for in the FAQ. Actually I typed that part about de-freezing. But I wasn't sure about it. So I deleted it.

In Hungarian Forum it says we can de-freeze the dices:
It says,

"If you regret having saved a die you can always click on it and return to the mat to throw it again. If you have a throw left.

if it is the first time you make that combination, you receive an extra score

Next time you get the normal score"

 

Thank you OneTwo for the how to play chart and escalonilla for the video. I'm looking forward to this one.

 

I like this event, the game is a combination of chinese mahjong and texas poker

And this event offers one of the best rewards in awhile. I love it

Edit: How do you get flush (1,2,3,4,5,6) if you can only have 5 dice at a time

 

So, we get 100 bonus points only the first time we get any of the combos. Except for the "nothing" and the "pair" category, which don't give a bonus, there are 29 combos. That means a maximum of 2900 bonus points are possible. Right?
I haven't played Yahtzee since I was a kid, but I remember it was a lot of fun. I'm going to go as far as the drops will allow. I'd love to get the cannon and its upgrades, but at very least I want the cloud row.

 

"Flush means - all 5 dices must contain the same number" quote from 12s explanation. The picture in the FAQ is confusing. When you look at Flush it looks like you need 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - but actually that's just the different kinds of Flush, you can get. If you get Flush with 1s - the number 1 will be highlighted and Flush for 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will not. That way you can keep track of which kinds of Flush you have had before which is relevant as they only give a bonus the first time, you get them. However, You will get points every time. Hope that helps

 

Thanks! Now it makes sense to me

 

I have never played Yahtzee as it is poker with Dice.

As I am really looking for to this game as it is a new gaming concept event.

• 11,600 Gamer's Glory plus 800 Shakers, this is Minimum requirement to get Cloud Row + Givers.
• Combination Points rewards up to 25,000 Combo Points really depends how many Dice Combo Points we get per Mini Game
• The more Dice Combo Points we get the less we need to make Cup O Dice
• It would be wise to Mill more than 40 Cup O Dice, just it case to fall short to complete 74 Combination Steps
• Good Reward Prizes this time

Thanks for this Thread Arielh, Thanks for 12ss12 for Info for this Event plus thanks to Escalonilla for Video Clip on Mini Game

 

Thank you 12ss12 and escalonilla for the info
Think I have played something like this years ago


WOW i got 120 shakers...most I have ever had
